    FINISHED! Five hours and eight minutes. I was scratching out those blades of grass while watching the deadline fly up like the Concorde.

    This looks really great, especially for only 5 hrs. I love the house! I will need to think of something for this contest.

    Thanks Chashio!

    I needed swampy trees, so while sketching I made the bottom edges of the trees jagged to imply Spanish Moss. The technique looked like it worked so I went with it. There could be spiders... or Creole bandits. Who knows no one has attempted to explore the ghost town in many decades. As for the mansion, the locals say that the Cajun landlord is so villainous that even Vlad the Impaler would turn down an invite to the mansion, but that is just scuttlebutt. You know how superstitious people invent such crazy things...
